Who Am I
Rise Electric Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was so afraid

Am I alone again?

To keep me here with you,

'cause only you are true.

I'm sorry for the hurt,

And I'm sorry for the shame.

I'm sorry for the guilt,

And I'm sorry I complain.

Who am I?

What is life?

I want to know,

Who is God?

Only Heaven knows,

What is life.

I want to know,

Who is God?

Cause He gives me faith (faith),

He keeps me safe (safe).

Only Heaven, only Heaven knows.

Sorry for the hurt,

And I'm sorry for the shame.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for the guilt,

And I'm sorry I complain.

But who am I?

What is life?

I want to know,

Who is God?

Only Heaven knows,

What is right.

I want to know,

Who is God?

Cause He gives me faith (faith),

He keeps me safe (safe).

(Now...now)

If you hate Him, you hate you.

If you hate Him, you hate you.

If you hate Him, you hate you.

If you hate Him, you hate you.

I'm sorry for the hurt (hurt),

And I'm sorry for the shame (the shame).

I'm sorry for,

Sorry for, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for the guilt,

And I'm sorry I complain.

I'm sorry for, sorry.

He gives me faith, faith.

(If you hate Him, you hate you.

If you hate Him, you hate you.)

He gives me faith.

(If you hate Him, you hate you.

If you hate Him, you hate you.)

He gives me faith (faith, safe)

Who am I?

What is life,

I want to know.
